My First Period

So I just got my first period yesterday. I’m 14 this year and have been for about 6 months, so I’ve been expecting my period to start any day. I read some of the posts on this tumblr and I’m quite lucky actually because I was at home at the time, not at school or out, which would be quite inconvenient. 

So I was just going to the bathroom to pee and I noticed a lot of dried reddish-brown stuff on my underwear and I thought to myself “Yay I got my period.” I was actually quite cautious because I thought I got my period a few months ago, but turns out that was just a fluke, but there was a lot this time so I was sure it was real. When I wiped after I peed there was also blood on the toilet paper. So I changed my underwear and and put on a pad and didn’t freak out about it or anything.

Since my mom kept asking me before, when I will get my period, she seemed a little excited so it was kind of awkward, but she gave me more pads and advice as well~
